The Tudors

Very pretty pictures. Lots of them.

- I am Anne Boleyn - they will cut off my head but I don't know it yet - look at me
- I am Sir Thomas More - they will cut off my head but I don't know it yet - look at me
- I am Thomas Cromwell - they will cut off my head but I don't know it yet - look at me
- I am Hans Holbein - I will keep my head because I am an artist (irreplaceable)
...
- I am King Henry VIII, a heartless bastard who will cut off all these heads - but I am so sorry about that

Very accurate and totally empty of anything. Characters walk, fuck, die, but they all are like illustrations in a school textbook. Lifeless. Decorative. Void of any plausible motivation, lacking any real thought or emotion. Yet full of TV drama.

FFS - people were actually living in those times...
